On board audio, ethernet (and pretty much everything else) work fine, but the usual advice is that add-on audio cards are usually much better than on-board ones. Depends what the audio is for, I guess. You won't find motherboard compatibility listed, because it's pretty much impossible. However, find the chip sets on the motherboard and use google. Always worked for me. --Alex
